Browser Extension

To make password management and auto logon activities seamless, Zoho Vault provides the option to securely synchronize passwords across browsers through native browser extensions. The extension helps you auto fill passwords and enable you to automatically login to websites and web applications. In addition, the extension allows you to add secrets to Zoho Vault whenever you use a new account in any web application, avoiding manual addition. Once you deploy the extension, you will be able to perform most of your password management operations from the browser itself, while Zoho Vault will be running in the background.
